'Meet Steve - a success story still going strong at Snap Fitness. Here\'s his story!  \"During my childhood, I was always a small and very skinny guy.  I could eat everything under the sun and not gain an ounce.  My senior year in high school I weighed about 130 pounds.  Post high school I always had the mentality that I could eat anything and everything and not be affected by it.   Little did I realize I was sorely mistaken.  Everything just hit me at once.  I found myself exhausted just from my job, chasing after my son, and being a volunteer firefighter, I found that performing the simplest tasks would affect me.    One evening, my family received a phone call stating that my mom was hospitalized due to having a heart attack.  I couldn\'t believe it.   I thought we were all invincible.  At that time I woke up and decided that a change in my life was necessary.    That day, April 2010, at the age of 40, I weighed myself.  210lbs and 27% body fat.    I said to myself, how did I get like this? When did this happen? From that time forward I started working out regularly. I joined Snap Fitness in Minnetonka MN which is owned by Aaron Callister. Aaron is a personal trainer, pro body builder and the MN State Director for NANBF (North American Natural Bodybuilding Federation.) Within one month of working out regularly I became addicted to the lifestyle of fitness. In February of 2011 I participated in a Firefighter stair climb challenge. The challenge was a timed event where I needed to climb 30 stories.  I made it in 8mins. After the challenge I needed more.   I had asked Aaron to be my trainer and am now entered into my first bodybuilding competition. As of May 2011, at the age of 41, I weighed in at 183lbs with 9.3% body fat.  That is a total of 27lbs and 17.7% body fat lost.    Thank you to Snap Fitness, Aaron, my wife Mary, and my family for providing the tools, education, and support to make this transformation.\"   To locate a Snap Fitness gym near you, visit http://www.snapfitness.com/gyms'
